simstim setup

Set up step by step: a host, its agents, and their logins

Synopsis

A guided setup. It asks where agents will run: a host in your SSH config, a local VM with Lima, a Docker container, an E2B sandbox, or a server you will rent, which it walks you through. It connects or creates the host, installs the agents you tick with their official installers, and offers each agent’s own login, each in a session you watch. Ctrl+C stops it at any step, and it says what was done.

Without a terminal, name the host with –host or –create, and pass –yes.

Examples 

  simstim setup
  simstim setup --host my-server --agents claude,codex
  simstim setup --create lima --agents claude --yes --no-login

Options 

      --agents string   the agents to install, such as claude,codex (none installs nothing)
      --create string   make a new host with a provider: lima, docker or e2b
  -h, --help            help for setup
      --host string     use this host: a saved host, a Host from your SSH config, or user@host
      --name string     the host's name (default: from --host, or the provider's name)
      --no-login        do not offer the agents' logins
  -y, --yes             do not ask: install the helper, and only the agents in --agents
